Australia Day is on its way - what do you have planned? If you live near, or around Sydney's Northern Beaches, then you have a wide range of COVID-safe events to get out and enjoy! Most events are outside, so you can appreciate the beautiful Australian weather and spend the day with family and friends. Whether you want to go shopping at the markets, watch an Aussie movie, listen to live music or take the kids to the pool, there is something for everyone!

Please check the Northern Beaches Council Facebook before you go for any updates or if the weather looks like rain. Also read the details of each event carefully for COVID information, what you can and can't take to the event and the food options available. The Northern Beaches Council has a strict Single Use Plastics Policy, so there will be no bottled water available for purchase at any of the events (please bring your own water bottle). Get outside and spend the day in the local community, at these events near you...
